    One of the best
    I'm about the only person I know who prefers the first season (shot in cinematic style with a single camera) to later seasons, but even after they switched to the multiple-camera technique and live audience (with the accompanying broadening of the humor), it was still better than 90% of TV sitcoms ever (unlike, say, *Happy Days*, on which quality plummeted when they made a similar change).

    The only thing that really interferes with my enjoyment of *TOC* is the horrible, horrible celebrity cameos.

    I mean, Rodney Allen Rippy?
